The Seattle Kraken won for the first time this season, beating the Carolina Hurricanes 7-4 on Thursday night.
Seattle Kraken defenseman Vince Dunn celebrates with the bench after his goal during the second period of an NHL hockey game against the Carolina Hurricanes, Thursday, Oct. 19, 2023, in Seattle. Vince Dunn and Oliver Bjorkstrand each had a goal and two assists and the Seattle Kraken won for the first time this season, beating the Carolina Hurricanes 7-4 on Thursday night.
The sluggish start was based around a lack of scoring as the Kraken managed just three goals through the first four games. But Seattle finally found some of the scoring depth that was at the foundation of its success last season with seven players scoring and 13 picking up at least a point. Gourde’s first of the season came at 7:16 as he redirected Andre Burakovsky’s shot. Schwartz scored his second of the season just six seconds into Seattle’s power play at 12:18, and Bellemare scored short-handed with 38 seconds left in the first period off the rebound from Dunn’s shot.
Carolina was without starting goalie Frederik Andersen after he left Tuesday’s win over San Jose in the first period after taking a shot off his mask.
